Some fertility clinics and shipping services plan to hold off on sending frozen embryos from Alabama to other states as they weigh the legal implications of an Alabama court ruling that says embryos created through in vitro fertilization are children. Many doctors and patients are confused about which elements of fertility treatment are restricted, following the Alabama Supreme Court decision last week, and at least three Alabama providers have paused IVF services.
The National Infertility Association announced Friday that nationwide embryo shipping services have indicated that they will stop transporting embryos to and from Alabama. 'This slight window of hope for Alabamans currently undergoing IVF to continue their family-building treatment in other states just slammed shut,' RESOLVE CEO Barbara Collura said in a statement. At least two IVF providers in Alabama told NBC News they have paused shipping of embryos, as well.
